15. Primo Chronicle

Chronicle 1 consists of 3 exemplars - 2 fragments and a nearly complete tablet Chronicle 1A. This good-sized artifact, about 6 by 8 inches, is the only chronicle where the date of composition is preserved. Written in the 22nd year of Darius I (c. -500), it likely was copied from an older original.

Chronicle 1A verifies that a king Nabonassar ruled Babylon and he reigned for 14 years. It also confirms that little is known about him.
